The Sound of the Mountain is a powerful book, but suffers in English from its translation that is decidedly from a different era. 1970 doesn't seem that long ago, but Seidensticker or his editors apparently felt they couldn't trust English-speaking audiences to handle the exotic Japanese world well.. By day Ogata Shingo is troubled by small failures of memory. At night he hears a distant rumble from the nearby mountain, a sound he associates with death. In between are the relationships that were once the foundation of Shingo's life: with his disappointing wife, his philandering son, and his daughter-in-law Kikuko, who instills in him both pity and uneasy stirrings of sexual desire.

The Sound of the Mountain. Ogata Shingo is growing old, and his memory is failing him. At night he hears only the sound of death in the distant rumble from the mountain. The relationships which have previously defined his life - with his son, his wife, and his attractive daughter-in-law - are dissolving, and Shingo is caught between love.. `The Sound of The Mountain' is a novel set soon after the second world war based around the vague and meandering thoughts of Shingo, an aging father, who is faintly perturbed by the adulterous conduct of his son, Shuichi, who lives with his wife, Kikuko, at his parents' house in the mountain recesses of Kamakura..
